Connecting Africa Through Stories That Matter
Welcome to Tourism News, the official news and editorial section of Tourism Connect Africa.
Tourism is more than travelling from one place to another. It is about people, destinations, culture, hospitality, businesses, communities, conservation, creativity and the connections that bring them together.
Through Tourism News, we want to tell the stories behind Africa’s tourism industry, highlight what is happening across the continent, and create a space where people can discover, understand and participate in the tourism conversations shaping Africa.
What You Can Expect
Tourism News will bring you stories across different areas of tourism, including:
Destinations
Discover places, attractions, experiences and communities that make Africa worth exploring.

People & Industry Voices
Interviews, perspectives and stories from tourism professionals, entrepreneurs, destination managers, community leaders and others contributing to the sector.
More Than Reporting
Tourism Connect Africa does not want Tourism News to be simply a place where announcements are copied and published.
We want to tell stories that matter.
- Stories that introduce people to destinations they may never have considered.
- Stories that help tourism businesses become more visible
- Stories that highlight communities using tourism to create opportunities.
- Stories that celebrate Africa’s culture and heritage.
- Stories that encourage conversations about the challenges and possibilities within the tourism industry.
- And stories that show the people behind Africa’s tourism experiences.
Your Story Can Be Part of Tourism News
Tourism Connect Africa is building a network, and that means you can be part of the story.
If you are organising a tourism event, developing a destination, running a tourism or hospitality business, working on a conservation initiative, conducting tourism research, creating an innovative tourism project, or contributing to the growth of tourism in your community, we want to hear from you.
Organisations, tourism professionals, businesses, students, researchers, communities and individuals with meaningful tourism stories are welcome to share them with us.
Not every submission will necessarily become a published story, but every relevant contribution can help us better understand and showcase the tourism landscape across Africa.
Stay Connected
Tourism News is only one part of the Tourism Connect Africa journey.
As the platform grows, visitors will be able to discover destinations, connect with tourism businesses and professionals, explore events, discover opportunities and participate in a growing tourism network.
So read, share, leave thoughtful comments, recommend stories, and most importantly, share tourism stories from your part of Africa with us.
Because Africa’s tourism story is not one story.
It is millions of stories.
- Stories of places.
- Stories of people.
- Stories of culture.
- Stories of businesses.
- Stories of communities.
- Stories of journeys.
- And stories of possibilities.
